Whoop! IKEA just upped its Minimum Wage

Plus 6 other companies that pay more than $10 an hour

You hear that? That’s the sound of IKEA workers cheering — and no, it’s not because they finally put together the Billy Bookcase. The Swedish furniture giant just announced it will boost its minimum wage from $10.76 to $11.87 an hour. That’s a 10 percent raise. (For the record, the federal minimum wage is $7.25.)

Take a peek at six other companies rewarding their part-time workers with more-than-what’s-mandatory.

IKEA

On top of a generous employee discount, IKEA provides health care to employees who work more than 20 hours a week. It also offers tuition assistance, a 401(k) plan and an additional retirement plan called “Tack” (the Swedish word for "thank you").

Whole Foods

Minimum Wage: $11/hour

As soon as part-time employees finish logging 400 hours (about 10 weeks' worth of work), they get to tap into some major benefits including health, dental and vision plans, paid time off and a 20 percent employee discount. Just think of the produce savings.

LULULEMON

TRADER JOE’S

Minimum Wage: $13.29/hour

After working 20 hours a week for three months, employees get health benefits (medical, prescription, dental and vision), paid time off, plus an employee discount on food as well as the infamous two-buck chuck.
